This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Show

A wrong prior does not crash the calculus; it flows through it, emerging as a confident posterior with nothing visibly amiss.

Watch for

The arithmetic guards belief's form; the content stays as good as what was written down.
